Mark 4
1 Once again He began to teach beside the sea. And a large crowd was gathered to Him, so that He got into the boat and sat down, out on the water, while the whole crowd was on the land, at the water's edge.
Yesu akatumbula kuvawula kavili kumwambu ya nyanja ya Galilaya. Ndava ya msambi uvaha wa vandu wewamtindili yaganikiwi ayingila muwatu na kutama, vandu voha vasigalili kundumba.
2 Then He began teaching them many things by parables and said to them in His teaching:
Ndi penapo avawuli mambu gamahele kwa miluhumu, akavajovela.
3 “Listen! Yes, a sower went out to sow.
“Muyuwanila hoti! Mundu mmonga ahambili kumgunda kumija mbeyu.
4 And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Hinu paamijayi mbeyu, zingi zikagwilila munjila, videge vikabwela kuhola.
5 Some fell on the rocky area where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil.
Mbeyu zingi zikagwilila palitalau, zikamela kanyata pandu pangali na ludaka lwamahele.
6 But upon the sun's rising it was scorched, and because it had no root it was withered up.
Lilanga palachonayi zanyalili na kuyuma, muni mikiga yaki yavi lepi na ludaka lwamahele.
7 And some fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and smothered it, and it yielded no fruit.
Zingi zagwili pagati ya minga, minga yakulili na kuyihinya hati zapambiki lepi matunda.
8 And some fell into the good ground, and coming up and growing it started to produce fruit—yielding thirty times as much, sixty times as much, even a hundred times as much.”
Zingi zagwili paludaka lwa bwina, zikamela zikakula na kupambika yimonga selasini na yingi sitini na yingi miya yimonga.”
9 Then He said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Ndi akavajovela, “Mweavi na makutu gakuyuwana na amanyayi!”
10 But when He was alone, those who were around Him, with the twelve, asked Him about the parable.
Yesu peavili mwene, pagati ya vevamuyuwanili vala na vawuliwa kumi na vavili, vamuhambalili Yesu vakamkota, ndava ya miluhumu yila.
11 So He said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, everything is being given in parables,
Akavajovela, “Nyenye mupewili kugamanya mambu ga mfiyu ga Unkosi wa Chapanga.” “Nambu vevavi kuvala vala yati vakujiwula kwa miluhumu ndu,
12 so that: ‘Seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; so that they should not return and their sins be forgiven them.’”
muni, ‘Chakaka valolayi, nambu vilola lepi, chakaka vayuwana, nambu vimanya lepi. Manya vamuwuyila Chapanga, namwene ngaavalekekisi.’”
13 Then He said to them: “Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?
Kangi Yesu akavakota, “Ngati mwimanya lepi mana ya luhumu ulu? Mwihotola wuli kuyimanya mana za miluhumu yingi?
14 The sower sows the Word.
Mweimija mbeyu ndi imija Lilovi la Chapanga.
15 These are the ones where the Word is sown along the path: as soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the Word that was sown in their hearts.
Mbeyu zingi zagwilili munjila, ndi vandu vala vevayuwini lilovi, Setani akabwela na kuliwusa lilovi lenilo lelimijiwi mumitima yavi.
16 Similarly, these are the ones sown on the rocky area: as soon as they hear the Word they receive it with joy,
Mbeyu zila zezamijiwi palitalau ndi ngati vandu vala, veviyuwana lilovi bahapo vakulipokela kwa luheku.
17 but since they have no root in themselves they are temporary—when oppression or persecution comes because of the Word, they quickly fall away.
Nambu likuvayingila lepi nakuvya na mikiga mugati yavi, vakulikamula mulukumbi luhupi ndu. Na lukumbi lwa mang'ahiso peluhumila ndava ya lilovi lenilo, vikuvanduka na kugwa.
18 And these are the ones sown among the thorns: they hear the Word,
Vandu vangi ndi ngati mbeyu zila zezagwilili pagati ya minga. Wenuwo ndi luhumu lwa vala veviyuwana lilovi lenilo,
19 but the worries of this age, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the undue desires for other things come in and smother the Word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
ndava ya mang'ahiso ga mulima uwu, mnogo wa kuvya na vindu vyamahele mnogo wa higa ukuvayingila na kulihinya lilovi lenilo, na vene viyidikila lepi chila chelijova lilovi. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are the ones sown on the good ground: such people hear the Word, welcome it and produce fruit—thirty times as much, sixty times as much, even a hundred times as much.”
Nambu vandu vangi ngati mbeyu zezimijiwi paludaka lwabwina. Venavo ndi veviyuwana lilovi lenilo, vakuliyidakila na kupambika matunda. Vangi selasini, vangi sitini na vangi miya yimonga.”
21 Also He said to them: “The lamp is not brought to be put under a box or under a bed, is it? Is it not to be placed on its stand?
Yesu akavakota, “Mwaloli koki vandu vigubika hahi yeyiyaka na chiviga amala vivika kuhi kulusongwani? Lepi! Vivika panani pachibokoselu.
22 For there is no ‘hidden’ that may not be exposed, nor has anything been concealed but that it should come to light.
Hinu, goha gegafiyiki yati givya pawaka na goha gegagubikiwi yati gigubukuliwa.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Mweavi na makutu gakuyuwana na amanyayi!”
24 Then He said to them: “Pay attention to what you hear. With the same measure you use it will be measured to you in return; and to you who hear, more will be added.
Akavajovela kavili, “Myuwanila chipimu chilachila chemukuvapimila vayinu, na nyenye yati mwipimiwa mewawa, na kuyonjokeswa.
25 Because whoever has, to him more will be given; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
Mundu yeyoha mweavi na chindu yati iyonjokesewa neju, nambu mweangavya na chindu hati chidebe ndi hati cheavi nachu yati inyagiwa.”
26 He also said: “The Kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter the seed on the ground
Yesu akayendelela kuvajovela, “Unkosi wa Chapanga uvi ngati mundu mweimija mbeyu mumgunda waki.
27 and should sleep and get up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.
Kilu igona, na muhi ivya mihu na lukumbi lwenulo mbeyu yimela na kukula. Mwene amanyili lepi chechihengeka.
28 All by itself the earth produces fruit: first a shoot, then a head of grain, then full grain in the head.
Muni ludaka lwene lumelesa mbeyu. Yikula na kupambika. Yitumbula kumela linyai, yigelekela njechela na pamwishu mbeyu yikangala.
29 But as soon as the grain is ready, he sends in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Mbeyu peyikangala mundu mwenuyo itola chikwakwa na kutumbula kubena muni lukumbi lwa mabenu luhikili.”
30 Again He said: “To what shall we compare the Kingdom of God, or with what sort of parable should we illustrate it?
Yesu akajova kavili, “Unkosi wa Chapanga tiuwanangisa na kyani? Tiudandaulayi kwa luhumu lwoki?
31 It is like a mustard seed, that when it is sown on the ground is the smallest of all such seeds,
Uwanangana ngati lumbeyu lwa haladali lweluvili ludebe kuliku mbeyu zoha zezimijiwa mumgunda.
32 yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden herbs and produces big branches, so that the birds of the air are able to rest in its shade.”
Nambu yikamijiwayi, yimela na kuvya mkongo uvaha kuliku mikongo yoha mumgunda. Mambanda gaki gavaha hati videge vijenga hisakanilu mumambanda gaki.”
33 It was with many such parables that He was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Yesu avakokosili vandu ujumbi waki kwa miluhumu yingi yamahele ngati yeniyo, alongili nawu chavahotwili kumanya.
34 But apart from a parable He did not speak to them; privately, however, He would explain everything to His disciples.
Lukumbi lwoha alongili nawu lepi chochoha changali miluhumu nambu paavi na vawuliwa vaki avadandaulili kila chindu.
35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”
Lilanga palatipimi ligono lilolo, Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Tikupuka kumwambu.”
36 Since He was already in the boat, they took off with Him, leaving the crowd behind (other little boats were also with Him).
Hinu, vawuliwa vakaulaga msambi wa vandu, vakayingila muwatu weavili Yesu na kuwuka pamonga nayu. Na vandu vakayingila muwatu wungi vakamlanda.
37 Well a strong cyclonic wind came up, such that the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling up.
Pavakupukayi, mpungu uvaha ukahumila manji gakutimbungana na kuutova watu na manji gakatumbula kumema muwatu.
38 But He was on the poop deck, sleeping on the cushion; so they awakened Him and said to Him, “Teacher, don't you care that we are perishing?”
Penapo Yesu avi mumbele ya watu kuni agonili pamsagamilu. Ndi vawuliwa vaki vakamuyimusa vakamkota, “Muwula, wuli, tifwaa ukutilolokesa ndu!”
39 Then, having been awakened, He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Shut up; be muzzled!” So the wind stopped and there was a complete calm.
Hinu, akayimuka, akauhakalila mpungu na kuujovela luyuga lwa manji, “Guna!” Ndi penapo mpungu wula ukaleka kubuma na nyanja yikavya nuu.
40 And He said to them: “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mwiyogopa kyani? Wu, mwakona kusadika?”
41 They were terrified and started saying to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!?”
Ndi penapo vavi na wogohi neju, vakatumbula kukotana, “Mundu uyu yani? Mbaka mpungu na manji gakutimbungana vikumyuwana na kuguna!”
